Excerpt
The Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said that small fishermen would defy the three-month, government-imposed ban on catching galunggong (roundscad) in Northern Palawan. The Philippines now exports no less than $808 million worth of marine products annually, the fisherfolk group noted yesterday. Pamalakaya vice chairman Salvador France said that while the export of marine products apparently resulted in overfishing, the importation of fish reached 900 million tons yearly and derailed the long-term sustainability of fish and aquatic production.
